Reporter: );

LIMERICK native Cathal Reynolds is back again with his third single entitled “This Evening” which was written during the first national lockdown.
Cathal, also known as Cat, is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer born in Adare. Currently living in London, Cat plans to release his first EP in the summer.
‘This Evening’ was written by Cat amid the first national lockdown and it is meant to “acknowledge fears of the unknown along with bittersweet nostalgia whilst embracing a newfound sense of optimism.”
‘This Evening’ captures many of our feelings during this pandemic, and is especially poignant in this current third lockdown. However, as Cat puts it, This Evening is not a ‘Covid song’. It is a kind and emotional reminder that there is hope for the future”.
DUBLIN-based Fermanagh musician Stephen Brennan has been playing live music for 12 years, first taking to the stage during his school days. Since then, he has performed in many venues around Ireland and beyond. Here he speaks to The Impartial Reporter about his major influences, his favourite song to play, and his best moment as a musician so far. How would you describe your sound? A mix between Blues, Rock, Funk and 80s Pop. What genre/genres of music do you most enjoy playing? Different genres for different reasons; I will always love the spontaneity and authenticity of Blues – as well as the free pass that you get to play big, face-melting solos – but if I had a really tight bassist and drummer, Funk and R&B can be heaps of fun.
